S: "--Without gravity, there is no time--" EoM: "--he was always there since time didn't exist prior. --"
How can you have "always", every time, continuously, continually without there actually being a dimension to have those occurrences in? And how can you have no time without gravity when the equations of relativity state the opposite: the more gravity, the less time, maximum gravity= no time at all, absence of gravity= full flow of [through] time?
better you-all substitute "time" for movement through time to make it work. for we live in a working, worked universe, that started with raising time to the second power. aka acceleration, "inflation" even.
Some of you want to give the creator nothing. I at least try to give him time.
